A couple years late on TV on the Radio, no? But hopefully this means their new album is really good...

it didnt say 10 NEW bands.  just 10 bands!

Dang, Wolfmother is at Fletchers on April 12.  From Sydney, so it's not like I can hope for a DC date in the near future.  Damn damn.  Is Fletchers way over on the other side of B'more, and what are set times usually like on a weeknight?

do bowie and david byrne spend 90% of their time crashing backstage parties to tell young bands how much they like them?  i feel like every other article about some indie band includes a story about how bowie or byrne is "their biggest fan"

Yeah I remember when David Bowie was all over The Arcade Fire about two months after everyone already knew who they were.
 
 The new TV on the Radio album should be magnificent though.

will have to check this guy out... however, the last artist that was touted as a motown throwback turned out to be more image over substance. had the vocal talent but the songs didn't even come close to motown quality..

A couple of tunes from the new album:
 
 Playhouses
 
 Snakes and Martyrs

[Got Haggis?]

saw TV on the Radio a few years back when they opened for Firewater - I wasn't a huge fan of the EP, but live, they were incredible.

I've heard most of it, and it's pretty damn good. More accessible than their previous stuff, I think.

I really like Playhouses. Listened to that first and was excited and looking forward to hearing more.
 
 Then I played Snakes and Martyrs and sorry to say, in my opinion, it's a real stinker.
 
 I would have to hear more tunes like Playhouses for me to bother with buying it.
 
 Thanks for posting the links.
